Someone please listen to this man! In my opinion, one of the best things about Perl6 was that you'd be able to use a "my int $i" (as opposed to "my Int $i") and get an extremely speedy, tiny little I register variable with no overhead or PMC bulk. I'd use them for almost all my int-y variables where I didn't need any additional cruft - like as an index in a for loop (who needs all the cruft there? You just want a number that goes up one every time!). Nearly all modules could make great use of them for speedy internal variables, too. "int" was perhaps the best thing I've ever read in one of Larry's Apocalypses. Don't take it away from me!! > leo Ahem. I'll relurk now. Bye. Chris Brooks
